Water to wine

Provence is a wash out! Eau, oh, and more eau. The vineyards have become waterways. The river rose and the markets stood down. The weekend quince festival became a squelchfest. The Mysteries of Mycology workshop did not so much reveal the best and worse of mushrooms as create a new generation of slime mould. But my rubber boots held and new slippers offered sheepish comfort. This week we survivors will gather for quince crumble and forage for fungi fit to purpose – botrytis! There’s always a silver lining…

    My goodness, I wonder how that has affected the vineries.

    • Luckily the rain came now Lorna rather than during the vintage, which would have been a disaster. But the good news is that the sun is out today, and how welcome is that sunshine!
